I t UI 11./i ft: IL then), such an a_ tempt to prejudice the.mattercould not have been , passed.pver unnoticed or uncensured. Much stress has alio been laid by the Noble - Baron .ore the condufrof Government towards America. — Ka still imputes the measure of the Embargo to the Orders in Council is.ued by the, British Govern-, went ; but it the Noble Baron will refer to the cor- I ('Tou4nCt.!,!rWP.A./r.,,?bladk.rtn. nd:Air, it ' d; ; nu that . occasien, he, must be convinced . that at -the time of laying on the Embargo, the Ame rican Government were acquainted only . with the Decrees of the , French, Government, and that they adopted the measure of the Embargo on the 'supposition that the French Deers would produce o i our part some measure Of retaliatiOU, such as that , Orders itt Cnnacil. There was no disposition o h the- part of the British U/eminent to lintate Attiefca on the contrary,,e‘ery thing was done in the tone and manner of Conciliation, .ti far as the hotionr;the interests, andthe rights of the Country could allow ; but no consideration should pre vail upon us to impair these things, on the vile dication of them depended all our strength, and nart . tional dignity and importance ; and surely they were not to belacrifieed to America, at the very mnment When America seemed so blind to her own interest, and had betrayed so decided a partiality k;s favour of France, to the prejudice and injury of Great Britain. When the time arrived for a minutes explanation of all these points, he should he happy to afford every information in his power more fully to explain them. The present he did not conceive to be the proper moment for entering into that explanation. LordStnstotirn shortly explained the m o tive s which induced him -to concurin the Address. He ,did not conceive it to pledge him to any of the par ticular measures to which it referred ; and with that reservation i t was that he gave his present 'concur rence. 1,4 d MOIRA disapproved of many of the para graphs in the Address; but would still refrain from moving any Amendment. Ile particularly insisted on that which - referred - referred to the Armistice and Con vention concluded in Portugal, and took occasion to . :explain the opinion which he had delive r ed u po n i t as a Member of the Court of Inquiry. He conco r- ,red, indeed, with his colleagues in saying; that im farther military pruceedingshOuld be Lind h) that mat. to ; and he had emphatically made use of the word mililaty on the occasion. As far as the Officers, who took a part in the trensadion, were engaged, he would repeatit, that they had behaved with 'unquestionablir zo.al and fieriness. They Might have perhaps imputed to them an error in judgment ; but eircuinstanced 'as they were, their error was not such as fell wl:hin ,any infraction of the articles of war, it was rather error imputable to his Majesty's Ministers, and to the manner in which they had prepared . and sent out the Expedition.. The Address also alluded to further aid to be.: afforded - 10 Sweden. Should it not hat inquired how that:aid was to' be applied ? ,Was .the further assistance, to he hereafter granted to. Sweden, to be, applied in • the manner in which we had hitherto afforded that support ? What, in 1:10, bad been done for!Sweden,: that in the least contributed to give : her any. material asSistance.-- , From her adhereneis to our.alliance, she had alrttady lost almost half, of her territory, and 'was now ex.:, posed to the severest fate. We were as much 'bortnd therefore to attend t:Sweden ail() Spain. %PIO always of opinion, that all the military assistance in our power should Ile granted to Spain, InSpainmust be fought the battle of . British independence. The . fall of Spain must he the fall of this country. The two ..capntries must now sink or swim together.. I-tad the .jiritish ',Government: sent.

They refused them froth mischievous ..error, or foolish jealoteiy : that error 4boold have been cerreefed, that jealousy explained awajc. In this., and many other points of the 'A& dress . he could not concur; btu he would st ill for bear moving, any Amendment, conceiving that he was not pledged tautly particular measure to which It Might allude, and reserving to himself the right of .discussing or disapproving them on a future oc casion, t ' Lord 'ERSKINE reprobated the Address, ai in many Tespeas disingenuous, patticulatly, in the attempt which it made to screen Ministers, by shifting the blame of the Convention of Cintra from their own shoulders on those of the Othein s who commanded the Expedition to Portugal. If there was en error of judgment any where, it was to be charged on Ws , Majesty's Ministers, who 'had placed those Officers itt b situation which' reduced them to the necessity of acceding to such terms. , The condal of :NUM .sters in rcje6ing the, 'proposal of America, he might • reprobate..

HIS MAIESTra SPEECH. • The SPRAKER having read the Speech delivered by his Majesty's. Commissioners to the House (vide Report of the House of Peers),, Mr. Itoaresde rose.' Il e wou ld not &tont the House for a longer period th an i t was usual for Gen tlemen, placed in a sirei!ar situation with : his, to claim their iodulgernce, and would therefore, with— out further preface or apology, proceed to state such Observations as occurred to him on the Speech they had just heard read, and which .wotild form part of the Address he should have the honour to move. His Majesty had expressed his confidence, that his Parliament would concur in giving every aid in their power which'coold contribute to the firm and yigoroos suppert of 'the War ih which we were engaged. With well views as they originally entertained on the . sehjeet of this war, with such views as they had continued to take ut it, it would ',indeed be a singular inconsistency to depart front them at a moment hke the present, and ref).* from giVittg his Nlajesty an assurance that they were ready to give him all the assistance, required, and which the etitreordinary natere of the case demanded.' The leading topic of the Speech referred to the State of and whoever looked to the adult' situation of affairs in that Country, and the nature of those oe currences that led to the connection with our own, would agree with him in the propriety of reducing nap practical use :bat excellent maxim, that " vigor ous war led , most directly to sale and honourable . peace." Ourconnection with Spain was formed forthu purpose of enabling her to resist the tyranuous twerp non • of. trance, the injustice of which would only be equalled by-.the perfidy of the Means employed • to accomplish the detestable design. It was indeed ditVieult to determine which to reprobate most. lie knew . not in what lesiva& to &scribe the fraud and falsehood employed by Iluertaparte to itibdue a people to whom he was united in the elosest 'bonds ut allianc r, and who had reposed an ill-foneded con. tidenee in .him. •In the Declaration he had Orb billed, ire had told them, that if they refoSi,-(1 to accept his- brother Joseph fur their King, he would cut out a new kingdoM for the crown of Spain upon his own head, and ,punisit .tlese ,whole he dared to designate as " the .wicked.'' It ;would be welt for the yet iniconotteredleountries in Europe (of which be was sot ry to say there were now but few) to attend to the4irst part of this De claration, as there were doubtless some ro be found from whose territories, this embryo kingdom might be formed I. and it would be well hir to look, to the latter part, 113 she was assuredly in cluded among the wicked, whom Tyrant pre. sumptuously pretended he had a divine commission to punish. Some few, perhaps, of his coisntry melt, might think that 'tily cause of freedom in Spain was joss pure, because that country. bad not agreed or participated in hailing the dawn of liberty, which was (Awe thought to illutne the horizon et France. Hut surely no sight could be more grand and 'and ani mating, than such a people, whose charact er t o r ages bati, been famed for many virtues and noble qua. lities, such a people rising against foreign injustice, tyranny, and oppression; resolved to be' independant, or to periiih in the stroggle.. Could We woneer at the sympathy which the people of t hit country telt, at the energy with which the l came lorwatil, And at the gloving participation of sentiment which they ex.- pressed in a cause so litre their own. SpeculatiVe men 'might differ on points relatipg to internal' re- I6rms and regulations; but it was evident, that the Spanish people did not think the return uf a native king to his legal throne,. incompatible with national reform. The: cause of Spain had lost none of its first intermit, and Britain was stilt bound' to extend her . mighty arm, to save and succour. Under these cit. ceinstances he could easily ceeceive what his hla jesty's feelings must have been, when it was pros posed to hug to abandon the cause of Spain, a pro-, positionlo accord with which would have been dis - glacolul to the Sovereign and to the Coutrtry.,- , , When be heard of the opening of negotiations, be entertained littleor no hopes Ot success. Booeaparte would not gi% e up his pretensions,. and we were not base enough to agree to the shameful terms offered as the grounus of treaty. Indeed, no one could believe that the two Emperors at Erfurt') ever entertianed an. Idea that their proirosals could be listened to, as they must have been aware, from the history (.4 1 thi COUll• that we were, not in the habit of deserting our Allies; and Surely they cott'.d never expel that we would degenerate from : our• knOwn character, in a causes() great and important as t he present.

The next subjea touched upon' was 'our 'relations with , Sweden ; and thouo Russia, ' by alint of, superior: forcea, had obtained advantages over our Ally. yeti every one Most admire the King of ;:tvedet I's steady adherence to the principles which first united him to us, awl drew down the implacable hate and: vengeance of Buotiaparte upon his head., His de terthination also ,not to listen to 'terms of accom inotlatiou, hostile to the independence of the Spanish Nation, gave him an additional claim tO our suppott. It.was our duty then to assist hint with all our power; thus evincing to the world, that Britain never forsnok ' those who remained true to them- Selitesand to their eniageme n t s w i t h h er. ' I t Wo uld also have the good . ctle4 of establishing a charaaer • not to' be shaken, that we never by indifference would create hostility, where by liberality, we could make friends. Upon a review of the existing en.. cumstances mentioned in the 'Speech, it was clear that we could not stipport our part in the arduous scene without incurring much eattience. :Mit on . this point he had no cause to expatiate,'lls he was tin . ly happy to hear it asserte& that: the Public would not be mat'erially burthened, Ai other means could be found' to'answer the exigencies of the times. .It was also highly satisfatiory for him to learO that our revenues' were in so prosperons a stattl. tonsi . daring the means adopted by Our enemy, and the ex 7 ertions he used to destroy our commercial prespe. rity, though he never thought they Would have the full circa designed and hoped for by the contriver, yet neither had' he been sangoine enough to inia •gine that they would be oinployeg so ineffieient 1. ly ; instead of doing us any injury, a progres sive increase of revenue wits the consenuence. Ail . the attempts of Buonaparte fri . uhdermilie our na tional strength had failed, and the trial had proved alit Great ' Britain was superior to all the oppo -1 sition and schemes of deterioration : the Tyrant of the Continent tatuld devise. The last topic to which he should call their attention waa the military stale 'of the country. ' As he had' ever .been a friend to the meaSures adopted in the laSt Session of Parlia- Mew,' he rejoiced to find it had been so eminently . successful: It was, hply.fver, necessary to provide tor offensive as well as defeirsive.war; ea' nothing con tributed more effeetnally to a state of security than a vigorous prosecution of otionsive hoitilities, Never' was our army in a higher state of excellence in dis . - ciphne, equipment', or numbers, and he would 4e Wpm: , to see . some mode detas, d by which an in crease could be made to its pre at .tt stiperiniestahlish 'Tient.

Retleeting upon the unhappy events which iii these latter years , have alienated so many of our Allies from Otis country, and thrown them into the arms of the enemy, his Majemy's Ministers have felt it particularly their duly to give an example to the:, world of the, interest which hit Majesty takes in the welfare of other States—of the good faith of this - ctiunity,in performing all the duties of alliance.— 'Convioced-that they were dealing with an enemy, '• who omitted no nuqns of fraud or force to gratify hisinst'or aoutioiun, and satiate the vengeafiee which ' his heart feels, and his tongue often aeknowledged, towart.V thia POuntry, his Majesty's Miuisteri have not been delUded, by !follow suffers of peace, frorn . performing - the duty they had' solemnly pledged to - Spain.
